Chapter 117 Dream
With Nanfeng around, there was no need to bother Shen Jiasui to help Jiang Xun.
So Old Lin walked in front holding a lantern, Nanfeng followed behind supporting Jiang Xun, and Shen Jiasui led the rear with a torch, and the group of four continued to move quickly in the secret passage.
After all, Mr. Lin was old, and he couldn't help but breathe heavily. But he was like a naughty boy, constantly looking back, his eyes rolling around.
Shen Jiasui: “….”
Mr. Lin’s eyes make his presence felt so strongly!
I always feel like I'm falling on her from time to time...
Fortunately, at this moment, after turning the corner ahead, the exit was finally in sight!
At this moment, Jiang Xun had his head down and was already unconscious.
"Quick! Give me your hand, young master!"
A muffled voice was heard from outside, and it was obvious that someone had been waiting here, ready to respond at any time.
Shen Jiasui was the last one to go up the well.
As soon as she stuck her head out, she saw that the place was brightly lit and people were busy moving around. Jiang Xun had already been helped into the inner room.
Shen Jiasui stepped out of the well and as soon as he stood still, he was suddenly stunned.
She saw that Mr. Lin was walking quickly forward, and the person who greeted him under the eaves of the corridor was actually Princess Jieyou!
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Shen Jiasui's mind, and suddenly he understood a lot of things.
Just at this moment, the eldest princess also looked at her, and a friendly smile appeared on her dignified face.
Elder Lin turned his head, smiled and waved at Shen Jiasui, "Miss Shen, come in and sit down to warm yourself up."
The front hall of the warm room.
Shen Jiasui sat opposite the eldest princess and Mr. Lin in a somewhat reserved manner.
There was still a commotion inside, and an impatient voice could be heard faintly:
"Why did you come so late than planned? Even if you take the antidote now, you will be weak for several days."
"Also, you bit your tongue so hard, aren't you afraid of biting it off?"
"If it really doesn't work, it would be good to relieve it yourself in the secret passage——"
“Cough cough cough!”
A rapid cough interrupted the chatter.
"Xifeng, stop talking so much. Just treat the disease. Elder Lin said that as long as the patient doesn't die, that's fine."
Shen Jiasui could recognize the voice behind him, it was Nanfeng.
"Hey hey hey! I didn't say that!"
Elder Lin suddenly raised his voice and hastily denied it in front of the Princess and Shen Jiasui.
The inner room was silent for a moment, and now there was really no sound at all.
The princess seemed to be accustomed to Lin Lao's behavior. She pretended not to hear anything and looked up at Shen Jiasui, smiling:
"Ning'er praised Miss Shen in front of me today. Even someone as strong-willed as Aya was impressed by Miss Shen."
“At that time, I thought that if I had the chance, I would definitely meet Miss Shen.”
The eldest princess was very gentle, not even a bit arrogant. Her eyebrows were slightly curved when she spoke, which was very different from her calm and majestic appearance at the banquet.
Shen Jiasui respected and admired the eldest princess and had long yearned for her. Upon hearing this, he stood up in fear and said, "I dare not."
Unfortunately, the eldest princess could not stay for long.
She glanced at the clepsydra beside her, stood up and said, "Uncle Lin, I have to go now."
Uncle Lin?
When Shen Jiasui heard this name, he was slightly surprised.
Old Lin immediately stood up to see her off. Outside the pavilion were two fierce female warriors from the State of Yue, whose attire was similar to Aya's, and who were serving the eldest princess.
Shen Jiasui followed closely behind and saw that the eldest princess also went down the well and left through the secret passage. His guess was once again confirmed.
As they kept things hidden from the public, it was obvious that very few people knew about the relationship between the eldest princess and Mr. Lin.
In this case, I'm afraid that the scheme of Elder Lin and Lord Jiang was set up when the eldest princess sent a message that she was returning to the capital.
Old Lin turned around and saw Shen Jiasui's face full of thought, and he couldn't help but smile.
“Miss Shen must have many questions in your mind, but the person who can answer them for you is not me.”
Shen Jiasui came back to his senses and followed Mr. Lin's gaze towards the inner room.
At this time, Elder Lin called Shen Jiasui into the hall again, and said as he walked in: "It's still some time before the hour of Hai. If Miss Shen is not in a hurry, you can sit for a while. I think Xiuzhi won't sleep too long."
Shen Jiasui nodded. She couldn't wait to know the truth and also wanted to see with her own eyes that Lord Jiang was safe and sound.
"Do you need me to send someone to deliver a message to General Shen and Madam Shen?"
Shen Jiasui shook his head. "When I came out, I had already told my younger brother that he would explain everything to my parents."
Seeing how thorough Shen Jiasui was, Mr. Lin immediately nodded approvingly.
Recalling what he had just seen in the secret passage, the two of them supported each other as they walked forward. Elder Lin was both happy and excited, and had already regarded Shen Jiasui as his future disciple's wife.
In this case, he didn't want to make Shen Jiasui feel embarrassed or awkward at this moment, so he avoided talking about the secret passage and turned to talk about Jiang Xun.
"I really want to help Miss Shen solve her doubts, but Xiuzhi is... a stubborn ass. If he wakes up and knows that I took the initiative and involved Miss Shen, he will definitely be angry."
“He is a twisted child, but he has a very good heart, but he often worries too much. But Miss Shen can rest assured that if he really makes up his mind, he will never hesitate or retreat.”
Mr. Lin did not say it explicitly, but Shen Jiasui definitely understood it.
She lowered her eyelashes, her face feeling slightly hot.
Just now in the secret passage, to be honest, she was impulsive and had something on her mind...in fact, even she herself was not sure.
When Mr. Lin saw that Shen Jiasui didn't respond, he stopped talking.
It's normal for young people to be shy, that's part of the fun.
Now that he is old, he likes to see young people in pairs, happy and happy.
"I will go and rest first. Xifeng and Nanfeng are Xiuzhi's followers. They are very sensible. Miss Shen, just sit down and relax."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui hurriedly stood up and watched Mr. Lin leave the hall.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Shen Jiasui sat back in his original seat, and at this moment he was thinking about important matters and personal matters at the same time, and his mind was in a state of confusion.
In the inner room.
Jiang Xun had already taken the antidote and was now lying on the couch, seemingly asleep.
But for some reason, his brows were furrowed and his eyelashes trembled occasionally, as if he was not sleeping well.
Boom boom
In a trance, the dream came back again, but for the first time in several months, the scene was changed.
It was no longer a noisy day, but turned into a rainy night.
Thunder roared and heavy rain poured down unrestrainedly. Bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, splashing countless water.
He came out of the Dali Temple holding an umbrella, and Nanfeng followed him, holding a lantern for him.
"Sir, get in the car quickly."
He nodded slightly when he heard that and was walking towards the carriage, but for some reason, he habitually glanced towards the opposite corner.
With just a glance, he saw a figure standing in the corner with an umbrella.
At this moment, even he didn't understand why his heartbeat suddenly quickened and even his chest ached slightly.
Under Nanfeng's surprised eyes, he took the lantern and walked towards the person in the corner.
The closer I get, the more inexplicably nervous I feel.
The rain poured down heavily, crackling on the man's oil-paper umbrella, creating a wisp of mist.
With the dim light, he saw that it was a woman in plain clothes. The hem of her clothes was already soaked. She looked extremely thin and fragile in the night.
"Master Jiang, what's going on?"
The voice was hoarse and mixed with the sound of falling rain, making it unclear.
His heart suddenly trembled. He felt that he knew this woman, but he could not remember who she was.
He wanted to take a step forward, but was trapped in place. His heart was beating hard, but the words that came out of his mouth were very flat.
"The evidence is irrefutable."
The person opposite suddenly shuddered and abruptly raised the brim of his umbrella.
The pointed chin, pale lips, wet hair sticking to the cheeks, and those tired eyes.
Seeing this, a sharp pain suddenly erupted in his chest. His thin lips trembled slightly, and at this moment he had only one thought in his mind:
Her eyes should be bright and clear, not like now, filled with despair and death.
"Master Jiang?"
"Master Jiang."
"Master Jiang!"
The voices echoed in my ears, and although each voice was different, they all came from the same person.
Jiang Xun's heartstrings trembled suddenly, as if being plucked violently by an invisible hand, and clarity gradually emerged in his eyes.
The name of the person opposite is about to come out.
He opened his mouth and called her with all his might:
"Miss Shen——"
The inner room was silent.
Suddenly, a sharp call was heard, startling Xifeng and Nanfeng.
The two of them turned their heads suddenly and saw that Jiang Xun, who was lying on the couch, had opened his eyes.
Almost at the same time, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the inner room.
It was Shen Jiasui who heard the call and hurried over.
